The show premiered on June 4th, 2021, and around 60 million member households tuned in to watch the show within the first four weeks of its release.
The series follows Gus (Christian Convery), a hybrid between a deer and a human, whose life is in danger because the world is afraid of people like him.
A virus has plagued the Earth, and many believe that hybrids are at fault. While some contend with the ideas that hybrids may be the cause or result of the world falling apart, many simply wish to rid their planet of people like Gus.
Season two will seemingly start where the first one left off, and give us more of wonderful Gus and his tenacious attitude.
After living in a safe and secure forest home for an entire decade, deer-boy Gus unexpectedly befriends an aimless loner named Jepperd (Nonso Anozie). Together, the pair set out to discover what is left of America, and to seek out answers.
Gus wants to find out more about his origins and Jepperd’s past, and learn the true meaning of home; since the world is seemingly still against him, he must fight harder to survive in a world in which he is seen as a monster.
However, their journey doesn’t go smoothly as it is full of dangerous enemies and unexpected allies, and Gus discovers that the world outside the forest is more complicated than he ever thought it could be.
The cast of the show were sent mystery packages from Netflix containing a huge bar of chocolate, with the announcement of a second season engraved onto it. The video shows cast members’ joy at the news of a second season, and it’s clear everyone involved adores this series and can’t wait to get another season underway.
The first series of Sweet Tooth grabbed Netflix users’ attention and seemingly never let go, as the show has really stuck in the minds of those who have seen it. The stunning cinematography and charming characters left a lasting impression on viewers, warranting a second season.
Along with Convery as Gus and Anozie as Jepperd, the cast includes Adeel Akhtar as Dr. Singh, Will Forte as Richard, Stefania LaVie Owen as Bear, Dania Ramirez as Aimee Eden, Aliza Vellani as Rani Singh, and Neil Sandilands as General Abbot, along with James Brolin as the voice of the narrator.
Sweet Tooth is based on the DC comic of the same name, by Jeff Lemire. The series is executive produced by Team Downey (Robert Downey Jr. and his wife, Susan), Jim Mickle, Amanda Burrell and Linda Moran.
Sweet Tooth season two will consist of eight one-hour episodes, but has no release date as of yet.
